Ok, so I re-did the screenshots which show how ethereal is set up (see my original e-mail below), basically after I stop the capture no data show in the capture screen, it's like there is a hidden display filter on or something. See attachements for settings.

 

Thanks

Steve

Hi,

I'm new to Ethereal and I'm new to packet sniffer :)

I tried to sniff google talk packets using ethereal. Ethereal decodes the capture as Jabber XML Messaging which is corrected. However, the XML that is attached with the packet is unreadable. Does google talk encrypted the message? Has anyone tried this in the community? Please shed some lights on this issue if you have an idea!

Thank you,

Jerry

hi,

Google Talk is based on Jabber protocol that is supported by Ethereal.
In the web interface it's HTTP post that is used (so dissected by HTTP
dissector) but with other client TLS is needed so all is encrypted and
it's impossible to see data in clear text
the only possibility to see it in clear text is that google give us
the private key used .... (and they never do because TLS become
unuseful ;) )

so if your need was precisely on Google adaptation of jabber the
answer is no, else you could see jabber without encryption (but google
refuse this kind of authentification due to security)

PS : My answer is based on my personal test with Gaim and without
officiel client so it could be different .....

I wish my response satisfy you ;)

Samuel

Can you please forward this mail to wireshark-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx? We
moved development of ethereal over to wireshark.org (see the FAQ as to
why) and do no longer maintain the Ethereal sources, just the wireshark
ones.

thanks

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.

There is only one file attached which seems to be a word document. Can
you please resend the pictures and attach them as gif oder jpegs
without embedding them into some proprietary format? When you resend the
mail, please send the mail also to wireshark-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, as
that is the place where the development of Wireshark/Ethereal continues.

Thanks
         Joerg
